My prayer to my God who comforts me in and after the storms of lifeby Tesse Wilson11/15/2012 / Poetry

Heavenly Father, I thank you for the quiet reassurance that your Spirit gives to me
A guarantee that you are here with me
Holy Spirit continue to comfort me
Today I give you
The things I do not understand
The things that confuse my mind
The things that cause me great pain
The things that can steal my joy and peace
The wounded parts of me
I give you

I purpose in my heart
No matter how I feel
I will confess this-
Your grace is sufficient for me, for your power is made perfect in weakness
I exchange my weaknesses for your strength
I confess that you are the strength of my life
I reach out to you
Let your presence bring times of refreshing to my soul
Lord, give me a song in the night
Surround me songs of deliverance
No one can comfort like you do
In everything I acknowledge you
There is no one as strong as you
So I cast every burden and care upon you, Jesus
Let your anointing come upon me
To lift every burden
To destroy every yoke
To bind up my broken heart
To comfort me
To give me beauty for ashes
The oil of joy for mourning
The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness

I encourage my soul to hope in God
I confess Jesus is my strength, my peace and my joy
In all seasons and at all times
I choose to praise you Lord
It is your will for me
